Thanks a bunch Rob :)

first off welcome to the forum!
if pig skin isnt your forte you can also try honey dew melon! It’s the closest to human skin of the fruits!

also once you finish that tat maybe move to your thigh or something. when you work on your arm its hard to stretch the skin properly without help. that could be most of your issue :)
practice on your legs,…[Read more]

another way you could practice is by tattooing your OWN leg haha :P
just a thought XD
shading is actually pretty easy, and fun. for me anyhow

None of my machines require a yoke. My machines are all iron machines where the frame is used as a current for electricity, which causes an electro-magnetic pulse in the coils to bring own the a-bar.

sounds good bru, cant wait to see it :3

looking pretty decent bru :3
most just look unfinished D:
get some shading in there for some depth :3

shoot to kill, dont miss, cold dead, stick to your guns, pewpew lasers!

I used this cheap ass ink 5mL bottles that came with my kit. I hated them. The black was alright the rest was garbage. Personally I like thicker inks like Alla Prima. The cheap inks are too thin for my taste, and they dont saturate well AT ALL. I’ve had terrible experiences with it.

yeah Alla Prima white, and black are AMAZING! They mix well, and heal well. I also use Alla Prima, and water to do my own shading. :3

for the shading did you just use solid black, or diluted?

haha
i was expecting two fighting roosters
pretty good work dude!
love the colours :D
